Spacious. Clean. Perhaps a welcome package of bread, some meat/ cheese and milk?

Lovely villa, always clean and location can’t be beaten. The air conditioning in the lounge doesn’t go below 18 and feels like it’s blowing hot air. Not nice on a humid evening. Whereas the ones in the bedrooms go to 16 and make the rooms nice and cool. Both showers drains were semi blocked. We had to keep turning the shower off as it would overflow the basin after just 1 minute. A bit of maintenance on both issues would sort this out.

Location, comfortable villa and amenities

Beautiful villa, lovely quiet location. Heated pool was perfect for my 2 year old grandson. Shady terrace, ideal for afternoon tea.....even a teapot! Very clean throughout, midweek clean and sheet and towel change. Well appointed kitchen. Would definately come again

A spacious & well thought out Villa that was perfect for my hubby & me, grown up daughter & her partner and our lovely toddler Granddaughter to enjoy some precious family time together is the sun. It was very clean & the lovely maid that came 3 times during our 12 day stay was superb & a nice addition. The pool, patio & garden were perfect for enjoying quiet relaxation during the day & fun with a few drinks in the evening after using the well placed built in BBQ. Our daughter enjoyed the Aircon as she is not great in the heat. The WiFi was excellent. I welcomed the fly net blinds which were at every window & patiodoors, I am vulnerable to Mosquito bites so it was nice to sleep with windows/doors open with the net blinds pulled over. The kitchen is well equipped with ample crockery & cutlery. The kettle is a little tired & the washing machine has been well used !! We hired a car & glad we did as it gave us the flexibility to drive into Galé for restaurants & Alberfuria for the shopping (we found a great gym that you can buy weekly or fortnightly pass for) There are some good value restaurants that we walked too but we preferred the restaurants in Galé. ZooMarine is very close & we loved the Dolphin & Seal Lion shows, definitely recommend getting there before 11am as it gets really busy from midday. Had no contact from either the management company or owners, but the maid was lovely & the pool guys were discreet in maintaining the pool so it was fresh & clean throughout our 12 day stay. There was only 1 thing that made me sad which is something the owners/management company can not control but might be able to influence is the poor dog in the grounds of the Villa opposite that seemed to be left 24/7 & is clearly unhappy from the howling it did some mornings as dawn broke. I have dogs so I found it disturbing to hear the dog being so unhappy & feeling unloved. We will return to this Villa as it is lovely 😊

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in the sun at this property. The villa is very well equipped with all you need, we loved the pool (which we heated for our baby granddaughter & was so warm it was like getting into the bath) and outdoor area. We used the lovely bbq & terrace meaning we went out much less than on usual holidays. There was so much room that we didn’t feel on top of each other & had our own privacy travelling as three generations. The villa is really bright, spacious & full of character. It is a short walk to Guia where we used the little supermarket for daily needs (having shopped at the large supermarket at Algarve shopping centre nearby on arrival) and had lovely meals at Ramires, Oviera & Palladium during our stay. This is the first time we have booked through Home & Away/Algarve holidays & found the whole experience from booking to returning home simple & much better than anticipated; we would definitely book another holiday with baby/young children this way again as made a much more relaxing family holiday than being in hotel type accommodation.

Villa was easy to find in quiet neighbourhood with a welcome package on arrival. TV is well equipped with English channels and there are a lot of English books available to read. A travel cot was included for us in the price as an exception but there is normally a charge for this and a charge for a high chair which we have not encountered with other hires where these are normally provided as standard. Pool and outside area are very nice, sunbeds are well kept and pool heating worth the extra money, particularly as we had a baby with us. However we did find the furniture is an older style and appliances in the kitchen functional but old now and need updating. Washing machine shakes violently on use and was not kind to the clothes. That said it was well stocked with kitchen utensils. Workmen turned up during our stay to fix a broken toilet without an appointment which was a little unsettling though the maid assisted in understanding purpose of their visit - I would recommend giving renters advance notice to avoid worry. On the whole the villa is good.

What can I say - a very nice and well appointed comfortable property with lots of space and comfort. Kids loved the pool , which is bigger than it looks in the photos. The village is 10 minutes on foot with a few nice restaurants, bank, chemist etc and there is a very large shopping centre 5 minutes away with everything you will ever need. Sad to be going home and will definitely return .
